Conductor:
Claudio Abbado

Background: For the Mozart year Mozart's most popular opera! Out of the hands of Claudio Abbado, who is conducting the Magic Flute for the first time. He has saved this opera until his mature age. With his experience, wisdom and joy of life (since illness more marked than before), he conducts a performance with lightness and magic.

Previous to the recording, Abbado conducted this opera in Baden Baden. The German high profile broadsheets unanimously were raving in utmost praise about these performances.

'Claudio Abbado's Magic Flute sounds like a breath of fresh air- Since his own near-death experience during a grave illness, every piece he conducts has taken on a sense of existential urgency, including the Flute. One has seldom heard the work performed with such a light touch and effortless fluency, with such feeling for dramatic refinement and with the characters so musically alive.' Die Zeit, May 2005.
